About the Cause
Dubai Cares’ programs are designed to reduce, if not remove, the greatest obstacles that prevent children and young people in developing countries from attaining quality education. With each intervention, Dubai Cares evaluates the need for assistance across two key areas:
Access to Education which allows Dubai Cares to improve children’s health and learning environment, increase education enrollment and attainment, increase access to education, reduce absenteeism, increase gender parity and increase promotion rates.
Quality of Education which enables early learning, enhances educational attainment and school progression, improves literacy and numeracy skills among children, enables teachers to access teacher training resulting in better learning outcomes, reduce dropout rates and increase primary school attainment.
Dubai Cares is a long-term advocate of safeguarding children and young people’s right to education and is currently playing a global advocacy role in spreading the knowledge about the importance of providing education to the unprivileged children.
We also champion education through research - There is an overwhelming lack of evidence as to what works to promote children’s learning in crisis-affected contexts. Research plays a pivotal role in tackling this issue.
My Story
I’m setting up this campaign because I believe every child, no matter where they’re born, deserves the chance to dream, learn, and succeed. In many disadvantaged communities across South Africa, Early Childhood Development (ECD) teachers don’t have the training or resources they need to give young children the quality education they deserve. This breaks my heart because I know how important those early years are in shaping a child’s future. This campaign means so much to me because I’ve seen how just one empowered teacher can change the lives of so many children. It’s about more than education—it’s about giving children a chance to rise above their circumstances and reach their full potential. Supporting this campaign is not just about donating; it’s about investing in brighter futures and helping us get closer to a world where every child has the opportunity to succeed. Together, we can make sure no child gets left behind.
